Millions of Americans vote early as Election Day approaches, with early voting rates significantly higher than in the last midterm election, according to reporting referenced by multiple outlets. The coverage focuses on how voters are casting ballots before Election Day in a set of races described as tightly contested.
Several outlets add that the surge is particularly steep in states hosting competitive Senate races. PBS NewsHour and City News Toronto both describe the pattern using an Associated Press analysis of voting data gathered five days before Election Day, highlighting that the biggest increases are concentrated in Senate battlegrounds rather than being evenly spread.
While Global News emphasizes the overall jump in early voting, PBS NewsHour and City News Toronto place more weight on which contests and which states are driving the change. City News Toronto also signals that Texas shows a notably large increase, though details beyond that tease are not included in the provided summary.
